Development of a highly degenerate primer-based molecular tool for detecting and classifying the four major classes of polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (phaC) genes in bacteria [PDF]
Polyhydroxyalkanoate synthase (phaC) gene encodes for PHA synthase enzyme which plays a key role in PHA polymerisation. To screen, unknown bacterial strains for their potential to produce PHAs, the presence of phaC gene is essential.

Structure of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase PhaC from Chromobacterium sp. USM2, producing biodegradable plastics [PDF]
Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) is a promising candidate for use as an alternative bioplastic to replace petroleum-based plastics. Our understanding of PHA synthase PhaC is poor due to the paucity of available three-dimensional structural information. Here we

Effect of mutation of phaC on carbon supply, extracellular polysaccharide production, and pathogenicity of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae [PDF]
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes bacterial blight in rice. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) consitute a diverse group of biopolyesters synthesized by bacteria under nutrient-limited conditions. The phaC gene is important for PHA polymerization.
